Oh dear — my first reaction (I haven’t read any other comments yet) is — “Wow, this is a perfect picture of Writer’s Block!” — and of course a most intriguing shot. Will examine in more detail as I do a second tour. Yet another “Magtree Puzzle” to enliven the week.

What an intriguing picture Carin. There’s a real sense of mystery if you don’t know what or where it is. Without looking at the comments, at first I thought it could pass for the interrogation room somewhere scary! Just shows you what perceptions can do.

I agree with Allison. I thought the picture was claustrophobic and even ominous, and was relieved to know it is merely a cool corner of a café. The sunglasses add a note of intrigue and ambiguity as well – not usually associated with the ominous except in Duvalier’s Haiti.
